Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
The bright, pure flavors of our Sauvignon Blanc echo the spectacular beauty of New
Zealand’s South Island. A beautiful light straw color with a tint of green. Zesty citrus
and floral aromas lead to balanced flavors of passion fruit, melon, fig and gooseberry,
followed by a clean, refreshing finish. It’s exquisite on its own or paired with lighter fair.
Vineyard Notes
Our Sauvignon Blanc is grown in the pristine vineyards of Marlborough, surrounded by
jagged mountain peaks, brilliant blue skies, and a maze of crystal clear inlets. With its bright,
exuberant flavors and crisp acidity, every sip of Echo Bay Sauvignon Blanc is pure New Zealand.
Winemaker Notes
Our grapes were hand-selected from Marlborough’s premier vineyards, where sea breezes
and a long, cool growing season allow the fruit to develop complexity and exceptional
acidity. Winemakers gently cold-ferment the grapes in stainless steel, then secure each
bottle with a convenient screwcap, ensuring each glass is as pure and fresh as the first. None
of the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in order to maintain crisp varietal acidity.
